The election to decide the 18th Lok Sabha (#13) spanned across two months and concluded last week, in which the ruling party BJP (#18) whose been in reign since 2014 along with their alliance (#5) and its members (#2) manged to get a third consecutive win (after #10 and #3) defeating #6 and its members (#15); expanding #21's rule for another 5 years giving him consecutive 15 years till 2029. With nearly a billion people eligible to vote, it was such a big election that 16 of the articles this week are related to it, double of what the previous election did (and yet this time around they didn't manage the feat of kicking out the death list, down there at #8).
On June 2, following #25, Sheinbaum became the first woman to be elected president of Mexico, winning by a landslide. Once the tribunal declares the election valid, she will assume the position in September.
India has over 2000 political parties, so the big two alliances in #1 had 40 each. While the N.D.A. led by Prime Minister Modi (#21) got the majority of #13 with 293 of 543 seats, it was much lower than the 350 - 400 seats that most exit polls and political analysts predicted, and the Prime Minister's own goal of 400 seats. This was probably caused by the union of opposition parties (I.N.D.I.A.) that had a strong showing with 234 seats.
June 6 was the 80th anniversary of "D-Day", a turning point of World War II, eternized in the movies Saving Private Ryan (which was Today's Featured Article on the day) and The Longest Day, where the Allies raided Normandy, facing armed resistance from the Nazis on Omaha Beach, and from there started taking back France, eventually getting to Germany and joining the Soviets that were fighting the Eastern Front.
After #21's third consecutive win in #1 for #13 with his party's (#18) alliance (#5) and its members (#2) against #6 and its members (#15); people are also interested in knowing about #21's first win in 2014.
The lack of an outright majority for the BJP in #13 meant that it needed the help of its coalition partners from #5 to form the government for the first time in 25 years, and all eyes fell on #12, whose party secured the most seats out of all the parties in #5, other than the BJP itself. He also ended up as the winner of #19.
Star Wars returns with another Disney+ show, this time set a century before the movies concerning some Knights of the OldHigh Republic, including Amandla Stenberg as both a woman who stopped her Jedi training and her twin sister who is now committing crimes using the dark side of The Force. In spite of positive reviews, fan reaction has been as polarizing as one would expect from Star Wars.
Netflix added to its catalogue Toho's latest interpretation of the quintessential Kaiju as the Big G attacks Japan right after World War II, making larger audiences witness how the movie won Academy Award for Best Visual Effects with a budget that probably doesn't cover a Hollywood blockbuster's catering.
As the leader of the party with the third biggest seat count in #5, behind only #19 and #12's party, there was a lot of speculation on whether Kumar and his party will stay with #5 or return to #6, which he cofounded with other parties.
The Leader of #18 with its alliance (#5) and its members (#2) won in the #1 against #6 and its members (#15); and he confirmed his third consecutive term in #13 after #10 and #3, becoming only the second Prime Minister to secure three consecutive terms, after the country's first PM.
